Why a good water bottle improves your sports performance
Hydration: the secret weapon behind better performance
Whether you're training intensely, going for a run or staying active throughout the day — proper hydration determines how well your body performs. Even mild dehydration has a visible impact:
- Reduced strength and endurance
- Slower reaction time
- Lower focus
- Faster fatigue
- Higher heart rate
Your body is made up of more than 60% water. When you start sweating, you lose fluids and electrolytes — and that immediately affects your workout.
How much water do you need during exercise?
Your hydration needs depend on temperature, intensity, body weight and training style. Generally:
- Drink 200–300 ml of water about 30 minutes before your workout
- Drink 100–200 ml every 15 minutes during exercise
- Drink an extra glass of water within 30 minutes after training
Training hard or in warm weather? Then you’ll naturally need more.
A water bottle you enjoy using makes regular drinking much easier.
Why the right water bottle truly makes a difference
You drink more automatically
A bottle that drinks comfortably — such as a straw bottle or push‑button model — makes it much easier to hydrate, especially while moving.
Your drink stays at the right temperature
Cold water encourages you to drink more — especially during intense exercise.
An insulated water bottle keeps your drink cool for hours, even during outdoor workouts.

100% leak‑proof = 100% peace of mind
A soaked gym bag? No thanks. A proper bottle must be leak‑proof.
The Lagoon and Elton water bottles with leak‑proof lids are ideal for intense training or taking on the go.
You drink more efficiently
During training, you want to drink fast and without interruption:
- Straw bottles (like Lagoon & Rio): ideal for quick sips
- Push‑button bottles (like Elton): perfect for one‑handed drinking
- Insulated bottles: perfect for keeping water icy cold

Tips to improve hydration during training

- Prepare your bottle before starting your workout
- Create mini‑goals: “half a bottle during warm‑up”, “finished bottle after training”
- Use a bottle that feels comfortable to drink from
- Choose a bottle that stays taste‑ and smell‑neutral
